Finally found this explanation. This is what I wanted to know. Not a quick fix, not a promise. Just information so I can rebalance the three (I thought there was only 1) influence on clubface at impact. Bravo!

The "why" of this lesson is next level. Well done!

you noted all of my issues and they were resolved within 4 holes! Great video

A very balanced opinion. The factors are way more than we golfers imagine in our swing. Very accurately you pointed out the key elements which could play a vital role in the adjustment of your club face. After all, the ball goes where you aim and you aim with your gun. In this case, its the club face..!!

[atorres]

Good stuff Chris! Rather than just giving drills to do you go into the "why" which helps us understand what we're doing wrong. Keep it up!

The guy at 2:05 needs to watch this video!!!! Ok, he's most likely just dressing the sand trap! Thanks again for a great lesson!

Thanks!! I lost the vision in my right eye in 2015 due to complications regarding a Glaucoma filtration surgeries. In 2018. a coworker took me to Mariners point Golf Center in Redwood City CA, where I found TOPTRACER!!
Your suggestions will be most helpful!!

It's really hard for me to get a good drive but I enjoy smashing that ball wherever it may roam

That was genius!. I have been struggling with inconsistent ball striking and direction. I had a very string grip because it just felt like a much more natural way to hold the club to ensure a solid swing. Sometimes I slice, sometimes I hook, sometimes my ball starts left and sometimes it starts right. Sometimes I top the ball, sometimes I skull the ball, sometimes I hit it fat taking a huge divot before the ball. And sometimes I hit the ball straight, high, and far. I have now changed to a more neutral to slightly strong grip.

I also was addressing the ball such that the club was at a flat lie and with forward shaft lean, but then when I hit the ball i was introducing even more shaft lean and steeping the shaft which was causing my shaft and lie angle to be way to steep and changing the angle of the club face. Even though I wasn’t rotating the face in the tradition sense the face angle was changing due to the steeping of the shaft and the forward shaft lean. After watching this video and becoming aware of what was happing, I have been able to make corrections and as a result I am hitting the ball much more consistently, straighter and farther.

Loved it Mr. Ryan. So nice to see the why's. Very informative and enlightening for us novices. Thank you.

[grahamhumphreys]

Just the information I need. Thanks Chris, great knowledge to pass on.

[mejh]

Great explanation. Not many translate club face control better than you Chris. 👍

[colinwhite]

Good stuff, Chris. Important to be reminded of this .. because I hit my shot to the green on the first in Sunday’s comp OB. Many thanks.

[rackum]

Great info chris.I watched thousands of videos and never saw anyone talk about all 3 factors that you did here

[germain]

Wow, for so long now I`ve been wondering why I pull all of my irons shots to the left and tried so many things to correct it. Meanwhile though, I never thought that it could be because of my address position. I always have the handle of my club lowered at address. I will fix that and see if that helps. Great tutorial Chris.

[bonhamhouse]

Good idea, I never thought about taking a look at the handle.

[nicted]

More great advice Chris, I see people at my club making mistakes with club face control hope it helps them
